Photography

Our approach to photography is one part meticulous execution, one part gut instinct. It’s a blending of style, skill, experimentation and inspiration to bring depth that goes beyond one dimension. Photography that does as intended, whether to introduce a product or service, spark conversation, frame a narrative, or even just liven up your website.

Cronin

Employee Headshots

Cronin wanted a little something different for their employee headshots—a style more reflective of the agency’s personality. Instead of using the expected solid background, we emphasized natural light, a shallow depth of focus and an off-camera gaze for cohesion across the set of photos. We photographed employees in their personal workspaces to add a little extra interest, authenticity and intimacy.

Connecticut Children’s Medical Center

Portrait Series

A tribute to craniofacial team patients, this photography series features nineteen patients and two parents to promote awareness and equality for patients with facial differences. The high contrast of the portraits created by a dark backdrop avoided light spill, and shutter-controlled speed flash and careful lighting highlighted our subject and ensured the patient was the focus. Photography was unveiled at a special event in Hartford and is now featured throughout the hospital.

Stubborn Beauty Brewery

Product Photographs

Our goal: to make the beer look as good as it tastes. Our subject was already photogenic, so we kept the product front and center. A fast lens and shallow depth of field created a rich bokeh, and orbs added a moody and bold air to let the beer’s true beauty shine.

Silver Hill Hospital

Location Photography

For anyone headed to a month-long stay in a mental health treatment facility, getting a sense for where you’ll be is critical. We used bracket photography for a more dynamic photo range, to preserve highlights, and to accommodate the different exposures within the bright space. These photographs showcase the interior and exteriors, paying special attention to the richness of the space and its natural, airy light.

UCONN

Student Portraits

UCONN has a history of embracing diversity, but they wanted to push their students further to challenge their assumptions. The bold, “in-your-face” nature of these black and white photographs, used for posters on campus, lends to an honest portrayal of students and arrests the attention of passersby.

Allied Printing

Website Photography

Custom photography brings an intimacy and realism not possible with stock images. These photos of real employees in the midst of their work and different areas within the state-of-the-art printing facility bring Allied’s passion and spirit for their business to life. To give us some flexibility shooting inside a building with little natural light, we were thoughtful in our lighting set-up and shot in RAW.
